Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The TPC-1261H touch panel computer is a state-of-the-art HMI (Human
Machine Interface). This operator interface with a 12.1” display is an
x86-based platform with these key features:
• Fanless
By using a low-power processor, the system does not have to rely on
fans, which often are unreliable and causes dust to circulate inside the
equipment.
• Bright Display
The TFT LCD display suits industrial demands for clear interfaces.
• Powerful Communication Capability
TPC-1261H provides a powerful I/O interface for easily communicat-
ing with other devices. The I/O interface includes serial ports, a paral-
lel port, Ethernet and USB 1.1 support. TPC-1261H also supports the
expansion slot PCI/104. This makes it easy to expand with the required
PCI/104 modules.
• Windows CE Support
In addition to the OS support of Windows XP, Advantech offers plat-
form support for Windows CE and Windows XP embedded. The
optional Windows CE operating system specifically for the TPC-
1261H is available for Windows CE application program builders.
